YUING, Tuillang. Desire as a refuge from temporality: Sade's reading in Les mots et le choses by Michel Foucault. Nat. hum. [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.spe, pp. 01-11. ISSN 1517-2430.

The following text seeks to give local account that has the figure of Marques de Sade in Les mots et le choses of Michel Foucault. This name wil show the limit of the representation and of the conscience, both elements exceeded for inabarcable of the desire and lost in the unrepresentable immensity of the history. For this purpose, the text gathers as precedent, the function given to Sade in Histoire de la folie, as a sign of return of the tragic experience of the madness, that had been converted into object of knowledge by the modernity. Finally, the work presents some elements that Foucault elaborates concerning Sade as figure of the transgression.

Keywords : Foucault; Sade; Desire; Madness; History.
